New Roof Installation & Re-Roofing

Whether you are breaking ground on a new facility or your current building requires a total overhaul, AB Construction & Roofing provides custom-engineered systems to meet your individual requirements. We understand that a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn’t work for commercial properties. We evaluate your building’s existing conditions, and environmental exposure to recommend the best system.

Single-Ply Roofing Systems

We are experts in the most durable and energy-efficient single-ply membranes on the market today:

• TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): A popular choice for its heat-reflective properties and resistance to ultraviolet, ozone, and chemical exposure. TPO helps reduce cooling costs for large warehouses and retail spaces.
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer): Known for its extreme durability and ability to withstand the harsh freeze-thaw cycles of Central New York winters. This "rubber roofing" is a time-tested solution for flat and low-slope roofs.
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Ideal for industrial buildings, especially those in the food service or manufacturing sectors (like our supermarket clients and several restaurants that we service), as it is highly resistant to grease, fire, and chemicals.
• Modified Bitumen: This multi-layer system is perfect for roofs that anticipate foot traffic or require extra redundant protection against the elements.

Standing Seam Metal & Shingle Systems

For properties requiring a specific aesthetic or superior longevity, we specialize in Standing Seam Metal Roofs. These systems offer a modern look with virtually no maintenance and a lifespan that can exceed 50 years. Additionally, we provide high-grade Shingle Roof Systems for commercial properties with steep-slope designs, ensuring a leak-free finish that enhances curb appeal.

Prompt & Professional Leak Repairs

When a leak occurs in a commercial setting, every minute counts. Water intrusion can damage expensive inventory, sensitive electronic, and create safety hazards for employees.

The success of our service and leak department is built on two pillars: prompt response times and experienced technicians. We don’t just "patch" a problem; we find the root cause. Our team is trained to fix leaks in all types of roofing systems at highly competitive rates. Because we are licensed by major manufacturers, our repairs often help maintain your existing warranties while extending the overall life of your roof.

Curb and Penetration Installations

Modern commercial buildings are dynamic; they often require new HVAC units, exhaust fans, or plumbing vents long after the roof has been installed. Many general contractors and building owners count on AB Construction & Roofing to manage these critical modifications.

Installing a new roof-top unit (RTU) involves cutting into the membrane—a process that, if done incorrectly, will void your warranty and lead to immediate leaks. We specialize in curb installations and roof penetration flashings. We work on roofs of all types and can usually integrate these new penetrations without disturbing your existing manufacturer warranties. We ensure the seal is as strong as the original installation.

Licensed Asbestos Abatement

Working on older industrial and commercial buildings in the Binghamton and Southern Tier area often reveals legacy materials that require special handling. AB Construction & Roofing is fully licensed in New York State to safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing roofing materials.

Asbestos abatement is a highly regulated process that requires strict adherence to safety protocols to protect workers, building occupants, and the environment. By choosing a contractor licensed in abatement, you eliminate the need for third-party hazardous material teams, streamlining your project and ensuring that your transition to a new, safe roofing system is handled by a single, accountable partner.

Infrared Roof Surveys (Thermal Imaging)

How do you know what is happening under your roof membrane? AB Construction & Roofing stays at the forefront of technology by offering Infrared Roof Surveys. Using advanced thermal imaging, our technicians can "see" moisture trapped within the insulation that is invisible to the naked eye.

The Benefits of Thermal Imaging:

• Pinpoint Hidden Leaks: Find the exact entry point of water, even if it is far from where the drip appears inside.
• Evaluate Roof Condition: Determine if a roof truly needs a full replacement or if only specific sections of wet insulation need to be replaced.
• Energy Auditing: Identify areas where heat is escaping your building, helping you lower your energy bills.
• Due Diligence: Perfect for property owners considering a purchase or for annual maintenance records to satisfy insurance requirements.
